Great physician who does not rush thru the appointment but explains everything very thoroughly and answers all questions
Jul-2025
My appointment was at 8:45am. Dr. Acott didn't come into the room until 10:00 a.m.. He was not friendly at all. I was given the option to get an injection in my wrist for pain. I was told that I may have some soreness for a few days but I'll still be able to use it. His assistant that was clearly training came in and gave me the shot in my wrist. Within hours I was in excruciating pain. I called the core which is hard to even get to the right person. However, I got on the waiting list for someone to give me a call back. The lady that called me took down all my information. I could hear her typing it up and she told me she was sending the message to the doctor in an urgent message. He never called me. Today is a day later and he still hasn't called me. I wanted to know what injection they gave me? If there was anything that I can take for the pain? Or is this pain even normal? I can handle pain but this was excruciating pain. I ended up going to the ER yesterday in tears.

I appreciate both his conservative approach before delving into surgery as well as his taking time to answer my questions about that approach.
